Video archive from Alex Trebek Alumni Hall during the "The Future of First Nations, Inuit and Métis Broadcasting" national conference held at the University of Ottawa, June 15-17, 2017.

The Canadian Radio-television and Telecommunications Commission (CRTC), according to its Three-Year Plan 2017-2020, will review the Native Broadcasting Policy (CRTC 1990-89) next year. The gatherings entitled "The Future of First Nations, Inuit and Métis Broadcasting" aim to bring practitioners, policy makers and academics together as allies to prepare a context for respectful and meaningful consultation. The idea is to create or identify the terms of reference for the CRTC deliberations to ensure that any policy changes support the development goals that Indigenous media activists, broadcasters, and community members themselves identify. This gathering seeks to share decision making power with the people, and to assert Indigenous rights to media democracy 'for as long as the waters flow'.

Discussion Topics: The CRTC Process & CRTC Policy

How would you like the CRTC consultation process to be conducted?
How should the review process itself be changed?
What should the policy entail?
What are the elements to include or exclude?
What changes would be required to the Broadcasting Act to ensure the policy is upheld?
